Congress Criticized In House By Connally

Congressman Connally denounced criticism of Congress by Elbert H. Gary of U S Steel, Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia, and Orrin Lester of Bowery Savings. He called the charges a subtle assault on the institution and faulted Speaker Gillette and Langworth for not defending Congress. He tied the criticisms to opposition to the Mellon Tax Plan and congressional probes of official scandals. The Steel monopoly, he said, profited from war struggles and now presses Congress to ease burdens on itself while others bore the war’s costs.
